I’m happy to say that I have not only reached a point with Scorebug.sh where I feel I can step away for a little bit to reflect on what I have made so far, but also where I should be showing off its capabilities with the v0.3.0 release! Let’s check it out. Schedule Currently the first thing you land on when you run scorebug is the game schedule. This is where this whole project began,…
What’s huh? I discovered some nice tricks in godot that allowed me to create a pretty simple “Resident evil style” grid based inventory system for a game I am working on. NOTE! This isn’t an in-depth tutorial, but the full source available in my godot tools collection. The Scenetree Before I dig into the details, let me just set the scene for how this is going to work. My…
